Motor power:
The set motor power (torque) has a greater effect on the patient’s legs with a smaller crank length
than with a longer crank length. The motor power setting limits the motor’s maximum torque output. It can be set to
between 2 and 22 Nm. Set the motor power as follows:
to = Adjustable crank length settings.
= Very short crank length.
= Very long crank length.
Lbs. = Mass (weight) of patient.
M = Motor torque (power setting).
NOTE:
With a short crank length and a high motor power setting, the patient can be subjected to very strong
forces. The motor power for the upper body exerciser is approx. 30% of the power of the leg exerciser.
Spasticity detection:
This setting is used to specify the threshold at which the Omnicycle
®
sensors detect a spastic
reaction on the part of the patient and stops the motor to minimize the risk of overstressing the patient.
Select the setting for patients subject to spasms as follows:
•
Fine
for patients with very sensitive joints and tendons. At this setting even very slight resistance is
enough to stop the motor.
•
Medium
for patients with less sensitive responses.
•
Rough
for patients with pronounced spasticity. The exerciser does not stop until there is a large amount of
resistance.
The longer the crank length or the lower the motor power, the more sensitively the spasticity detection responds.
The shorter the crank length/the greater the motor power, the less sensitively the spasticity detection responds.
Spasticity program:
The function Spastic Autom. is used to set the direction in which the Omnicycle
®
rotates after
detecting a spasm.
Select from the following options:
•
Forwards
if the patient tends to suffer extension spasms.
